Santa Maria, CA – August 9^th…Peter Murphy and the Tarlton and Son, Inc. Racing Team loaded up the well maintained Tom Tarlton owned #21 Maxim to do battle with the Bandit Sprint cars at the fast Santa Maria Speedway.

The team was coming off of a win the previous week in Hanford, where Peter shrugged off some pain suffered during a heat race jolt, then proceeded to win the feature event!

-Santa Maria Speedway: Focused and ready, the team was looking to extend its points lead. Peter rolled out the Tachi Palace Hotel & Casino, Tarlton and Son Inc., Ridgeline Framing, Kaeding Performance, Shark Racing Engines, Sharp Insurance, VMAC, BR Motorsports, Fresno First Bank, Matt & Glass, Pro Signs Maxim on the racing surface for a few quick hot laps, and then readied himself for a fast and furious night of Non-Wing Sprint car action.

After qualifying in the 6^th spot, we were ready for Spin Tech Mufflers Heat Race #1. Peter did what we needed him to do, as he finished in the 4^th spot. The main event would end up being a special one. We ended up finishing 2^nd in the event to Justyne Hamblin. 2^nd place is not a spot where we like to finish, but we will take it this night. All of us at Peter Murphy Racing and Tarlton and Son, Inc. would like to congratulate Justyne on her 1^st Sprint car win.

-Up Next For PMR! Peter Murphy will be at Kings Speedway, August 16^th for more Bandit Sprint car Non-Wing action. The team garnered a win on their last visit there.
